Marriage Robert Gray Sangster and Una ? Uganda?
« on: Tuesday 12 April 16 13:51 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a marriage of Robert Gray Sangster to Una. They had a son Hugh. Robert was a forest conservator and worked in Uganda and Tanzania.
I have no idea where to look!

Found this:



Robert Sangster

The Scotsman
Reported April 18th 2001

Robert Gray Sangster, CBE, colonial forester

Born on the 15th May 1912 in the town of Aberdeen
Death in Edinburgh Scotland 5th February 2001 aged 88 years old

ROBERT Sangster was born into an Aberdeen family that combined a strong work ethic with an even stronger faith commitment. Despite many absences from school due to childhood asthma and time spent working in the family grocery shop, he was an excellent student. He graduated in forestry from Aberdeen University and joined the Colonial Service - for him, the accent was always on "service".

After a period studying tropical forestry at Oxford and a year with the Research Department of the Forestry Commission, he was appointed in 1935 to Uganda, where he was fortunate to be posted as assistant to another Scots forester, "Joe" Eggeling, at Budongo, a forest rapidly gaining a reputation for excellence in forest investigation and management.

I posted the article because of the dates! ;D

I can't see a marriage on FindMyPast, "British Nationals Married Overseas"?
So, I suggest you look in Scotland?

This article says that Una and Hugh both died in the two years before Robert's 2001 death.

www.heraldscotland.com/news/12233908.Robert_Sangster/

In the circumstances I'd suggest that the death of Barbara Una Dou[...] SANGSTER (as the name appears on the ScotlandsPeople index), other surname BETHUNE, in Leith in 1999 - aged 87 - may be relevant.
